The event horizon is a two way barrier, nothing on the inside can effect us and nothing on the outside can effect the inside.

I don't think this is quite right, as black holes can [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#Evaporation|evaporate] via [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation|Hawking radiation]. At least if you are convinced by the theories.

When The Wall fell, I had a basement full of homebrew and a freezer full of venison here in The Land of the Free. All quite legal, unless I committed capitalism, in which case it becomes felonious.
